Cream of Cauliflower Soup

Cream of Cauliflower Soup

This recipe for cream of cauliflower soup is so good! I came up with this recipe in 1990, and I always make some modifications. We like lots of garlic as you can see! I use potatoes for thickening the soup rather than cream to keep the fat down. Sometimes I add or substitute other vegetables like broccoli and spinach.
